Process instructions.

“Register”
NOTE: Be sure to register for a sufficient number of credit hours to qualify for full-time status (9 - 15
credits). Registering for less than 9 credits may affect a student’s scholarship award and/or financial aid.
During the online registration period, students may make adjustments to their schedule by dropping one
or more courses and selecting new ones. The process to drop a course is similar to the add process
described above. Illustrated drop instructions are provided below.

Registration Instructions
Waitlist Process
Courses that allow waitlist registration will have the section comment: “Waitlist available until the end
of the first week of class”. This does not mean the course is full, only that it has waitlist capabilities.
Students can put themselves on a waitlist for a course that is full by selecting the waitlist option in
Banner.
When you receive this
“Closed” message, you must
select “Wait List” from the
drop-down menu and click
Submit Changes.
If a course is already closed and has a waitlist, it will have a message telling you how many people are
waitlisted ahead of you, but you are NOT on the waitlist at this point. To add yourself to the waitlist of a
course that has been returned as closed, choose “Waitlist” from the “Action” drop-down menu, and
click “Submit Changes.”
If a seat in the course becomes available, the first student on the waitlist will be notified by automated
email from the University Registrar that he or she is eligible to be enrolled in the course, and will have
24 hours to self-register. These notifications will be sent only to your Drexel email account. As the
School of Law does not oversee this process, exceptions cannot be made to it.
If you encounter any problems with waitlist registration, please contact Theresa Gallo - do not reply to
the automated email. If you see a seat open, but did not receive a notification, it is because the seat has
been offered to someone ahead of you on the waitlist. Please do not attempt to register yourself for
open seats without notification as you will lose your place on the waitlist.
Registration Errors
If you encounter any errors during registration, a notice will appear at the bottom of the registration
screen with an explanation of the error. Below are some of the types of errors you may encounter and
the actions you will need to take to resolve them:

day of open registration in the academic year’s Fall term. The Employment Affidavit form can be
submitted online or printed and delivered to OSA in person. If you did not submit this form, you have a

Examination Conflict Policy
The examination schedule for the term is posted simultaneously with the Registration Materials each
term. Students are required to take all their examinations at the day and time scheduled. An exception
is made when an examination conflict occurs. An “examination conflict” is defined as two or more inclass examinations scheduled to occur on the same calendar day. Students who have an examination
conflict may request to have the conflict resolved by the Office of Student Affairs. Exams may also be
deferred in exceptional circumstances, with documentation (see current Student Handbook). No
examination will be rescheduled to a date prior to the originally scheduled examination.
